gollark: Minoteaur uses `regex` for its one "parser" I think.
gollark: Although it actually has some nice stuff, such as the syntax, `let` and `var` keywords (I always wanted a language to do this), and the macrons.
gollark: Perhaps my problem with Nim is that in some ways, it's designed like *I* would do it, i.e. they basically went for comparatively low-effort technically working solutions, joined them together, and got something technically working out.
gollark: As far as I can tell, it basically just dispatches callbacks in an event loop thingy.
gollark: Yes.
